Like I said, please feel free to ignore this post as it's for my own curiosity. I just want to see the amount of spam

Sorry for taking up your time.

You'll get bugger-all posting in that manner, probably none.
The bulk of the address harvesting comes from the headers to
the article, particularly the Reply-To: field.

There are test groups for testing. Use alt.test next time.

Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet?

I really don't understand all this "Top Poster" "Bottom Poster" argument.

How is it better to have no choice but to scroll through comments you've
already read ?

Click on message, scroll, scroll, scroll.

Seems completely illogical to me.

*Top posting because it's logical*

Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet?

Thanks for the links DRS.

Interesting claims people are making about Top and Bottom posting there.
Most of which seem illogical to me though unfortunately.

I prefer to top post because it is more logical to me, and it is easier to
read.

I've been online for over twelve years now, and bottom posting has always
given me the ****s. I just skip a message altogether if someone quotes 3
pages of text before trying to add a single sentence at the bottom.

Thanks again for the links, I'll book mark those.

Ps. I'm not a Troll. You made the point of using a bait in your signature
that some people would nibble on. So by definition your the Troll here since
you were the one baiting people, not I.

It is not logical to put the answer before the question. When you top-post
you impose on others by forcing them to reorder the material so it makes
sense. That's called selfishness.

always given me the ****s. I just skip a message altogether if

You are confusing two different issues. Not snipping extraneous quoted
material is also wrong but it does not justify top-posting.

Thanks again for the links, I'll book mark those.

It's not bait.

Tony,

Iv'e also been posting to newsgroups for over fourteen years & DRS is
the only person ever to complain to me about top posting. Yes he is a
troll & I also believe top posting makes more sense. I must admit to
baiting this poor anally fixated soul, but I can't help it, he is so
easy.

I have a mental picture of him riding in a peleton on his tricycle
with a 50cc motor attached, with a megaphone, ordering other riders to
stay in line, don't draft too close, don't use your elbows, then
someone giving him a big boot into the nearest ditch, leaving him
lying there crying out 'BUT WHY" :-)

I don't believe you.

Yes he is a
troll

For someone who claims to have been around Usenet so long you don't know
what a troll is, because I contribute far too much and have for far too long
to ever be considered one.

& I also believe top posting makes more sense.

But you're just stupid. Putting the answer before the question is always
stupid.

I must admit to
baiting this poor anally fixated soul, but I can't help it, he is so

And what does that say about you?

You should get a mind before trying mental pictures of anything.

D R Sole, your replies are getting more pathetic by the minute :-)

You sounf like a small child screaming :"and so are you".

Can't you be a little more creative with your responses, or are you
already working to the upper limits of you vocabulary & IQ.
